Cricket Cable-Knit Cotton Cardigan

"I spend a few weeks in Denmark every summer. Warm days at the beach and epic late evenings in the garden. I like to have a cardigan handy, like the chic Ralph Lauren paired with Theory Linen pants... classic with a twist!" —Nelida Mortensen, Hearst Senior Visual Editor

Astrid Wide-Leg Chino Pant

"I'm low-key obsessed with these J.Crew trousers. The pull-on style makes them equal parts comfy and easy, the fabric has a nice weight and smoothness, like your favorite chinos, and the fit skims the body perfectly without clinging—just what you want from an easy, breezy, white summer pant." —Lauren Hubbard, Contributor

Washed Cotton Seersucker Button-Down Collar Sport Shirt

"I'll take seersucker over linen any day—it's infinitely more cooling in hot weather, in my opinion. I'm partial to a stable of roomy men's shirts from Brooks Brothers, which go with everything, from white shorts to denim cutoffs to A-line skirts. The perfect white shirt, found!" —Leena Kim, Editor
